I use TPLink power line plugs to link my AV stuff in the lounge to the router, NAS etc in the study. There's a TPLink router at either end. I'm having this weird problem where the network in the lounge randomly disconnects. To fix it it I just unplug the cable from the router to the power line plug and pop it back in again. Everything then starts working again. Can anyone shed any light on why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
Weird network disconnection issue
- Thread starter Bluecube
- Start date
Actually I've done some more reading up and I didn't realise that I had to run the utility on each powerline adapter. I had only run it from the PC in the study - thinking it turned power saving mode off for all connected adapters but I took my laptop and connected to the adapter that connects to the router and it said it was still on, so i've switched it off there too now, so fingers crossed!
If you wish I could email the utility to you as I tried to find the site i downloaded it from but it appears to have gone offline now. Drop us a trust message if you want it and i'll send it across

No worries. I've just sent it with some instructions, hopefully they make sense!
Fingers crossed this works (now i've ran it on both the adapters
)Edit: i've had a mail back saying delivery failure? send your email address in trust to see if it matches the one that ocuk trust system has on file, as thats the one I sent it to...

I have the same issue. I have tplink 6010 600av plugs
1 in the lounge and 1 in the study connected the my router.
In the lounge I have all the av gear and a wifi hotspot connected through a tplink 5 port gigabit switch. Hard to know why but the wifi seems to stop responding for periods of time.
I've nt done any lengthy testing but I'm blaming the switch box and returning it.
Tomorrow I'm going to leave my laptop plugged in and on to the switch box and when the wifi halts see if the laptop can still surf the net.
The halting/freezing of the wifi lasts around 4 minutes. Then starts up again without having to do anything.
Hope it ain't the powerlines, already returned one set that came with euro plugs. That said I've streamed nowtv all night with no problems by having my wifi hotspots plugged directly into the powerline adapter. Points again to the switch box.

I presume he means switch box.
I've bypassed my switch and so far no freezes. Which is good - i'll give it another day to be sure.
Awaiting delivery of a new tplink 8 port to see if that works.
I sent it to the email that was listed in the trust message you sent me but it came back as undeliverable? (it was a gmail address) Drop me another message with your email in and I'll re-send it.
However, since I've used the power saver utility it doesn't appear to have worked
but you might have better luck
